PUMP FOR WELLS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented A11 25, 1914.

Application filed August 14, 1913. Serial No. 784,738.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonen H. ALnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Neenah, in the county of Winnebago and State of l/Visconsin, have invented a new and useful Pump for Wells, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the usual Well pump having a single cylinder with check and lift valves therein, which cylinder is placed below the platform of the well at such a distance in the colder parts of the country as will be below the frost line, which line may vary from 1 to 8 feet or more, but in wells of more than about 30 feet in depth, it may with advantage be placedmuch lower than in the depth above stated. The cylinder contains one of each of the usual twovalves andis connected with the pump stand and suction pipe, so that upon any defect existing in either valve, the entire pump stand, cylinder and suction pipe of whatever length it may be, must be removed from the wellin order to make the needed repairs, and the object of this invention is, to avoid the removal of the pump stand and suction pipe for the purpose of making repairs or renewals to the valves, which I do by placing the cylinder containing the valves, with the delivery pipe and spout connected to it, in a part separate from the stand and suction pipe, the cylinder being connected with the suction pipe by means of a slip joint, and its delivery pipe being connected withthe pump stand with a single bolt, whereby, upon the removal of said bolt, the delivery pipe and cylinder, with its valves can be easily lifted from the well, without disturbing the stand andsuction pipe, and without removing but a few square inches in area of the platform which may again be replaced in position, after the required repairs have been made.

My invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is an elevation of a pump with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the pump cylinder, with its slip joint connection with the suction pipe, one member of which joint is below and separate from the other. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of thelower end of the cylinder, with a modified construction of its slip joint, its lower member being shown in section and separated from the other member. Fig. l is a plan of the pump stand below the line can, of Fig. 1, and its flange showing the position of the cylinder delivery pipe, and its suction pipe supporting rods therein. Fig. 5 is a plan of the suction pipe carrying arm and showing the position of the suction pipe supporting rods and the cylinder above the arm, with the whole within the pipe of a bored well, the pipe being in section. Fig. 6 is a plan of the suction pipe carrying-arm, with the suction pipe therein. 7 is an elevation of the lower end of a pump stand with the pump cylinder and suction carrying arm suspended from the pump flange by a single rod. Fig. 8 is a plan of the suction pipe carrying arm for Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a plan of an arm for connecting the delivery pipe to the pump stand.

Figs. 2, 3, 1, 5 and scale than the others.

Similar numerals and letters indicate like parts in the several views.

1, indicates the pump stand; 2, its bottom flange; 3, its handle carrying arm; 4, its handle; 5, a plurality of rods suspended from the pump flange, adjusted to uniform lengths between the suction pipe carrying arm and pump flange, and held in position with nuts 6 and 7; 8, the suction pipe carrying arm in Figs. 1, 5 and 6; 8, the suction pipe carrying arm in Figs. 7 and 8; 5*, the rod for supporting the suction pipe carrying arm in Fig. 7 between nuts 9 and 10; 11, the suction pipe; 12, the pump cylinder; 13 and 14, piston and check valves respectively; 15 and 15 one member of a slip joint in Figs. 2 and 3 respectively; 16 and 16 the other members thereof. The members 16 and 16*, are provided with angular shaped collars or nuts 16?, by which to turn them, and their threaded ends 16, for being screwed into holes 17, in the arm 8 or 8*.

18, is the delivery pipe;

6 are upon a larger connecting piece between-the delivery pipe and pump stand; 20, a hole through the piece 19, for receiving the delivery pipe; 21, a bolt for securing the delivery pipe to the pump stand. ltshould be observed that this bolt is the only part that requires removal for taking up the cylinder, with its valves. A cap 22, is mounted upon the upper end of the delivery pipe, through which the valve rod 23, which 19, indicates a v extends upward from the lift valve reciprocates, a link 24:, connecting said rod with the pump handle, which connection of course has to be broken in taking up the cylinder.

The improvement consists as before re-- marked, in providing for the easy and quick removal of the cylinder and both of the valves by means of the upcoupling of the valve rod from the pump handle and the removal of the bolt 21, the slip joints, either the one shown in Fig. 2-, having the tapering members, or the one in Fig. 3, having the straight members, with a packing piece 25, between, permitting the cylinder to be separated from its connection with the suction pipe, when it can be lifted out and again as easily replaced and secured. For wells that are bored and piped the suction pipe carrying arm, shown in Fig. 6 is 'required it being of such form and dimension as will be within the bore of such standard SlZeCl pipe as is used in piping the well, as is shown in Fig. 5, and in any well, it is preferable, as two of the suspending rods 5 are just outside of the circumference of the cylinder, and assist it to be guided for the easy entrance of one of the slip joint members into the other.

26, are holes in flange 2 for fastening bolts; 27 is a platform.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is,'

1. A pump consisting of a suitable pump stand having a flange at its lower end adapted to be secured to the platform of a well, a pump handle pivotally mounted upon the upper end of the stand, one or more rods connected with said stand adapted for insertion into a well and to extend downward the required distance therein, a suction pipe holding arm connected with the lower end of each rod and extending at right angles therefrom a short distance, a suction pipe inserted through and depending from said arm extension and adapted to be extended into the water of the well, a pump cylinder connected with said suction pipe having a piston and check valve therein, a pipe extending upward from said cylinder above the pump stand flange to near the top of the stand, a delivery spout below the upper end of said pipe, a rod connected with said piston valve and extending upward through said pipe and be ing connected with said pump handle, said cylinder at its lower end above said arm extension, having a slip jointconnection with the suction pipe aforesaid, and its upward extending delivery pipe being connected to. the pump stand with a suitable connecting arm and a bolt, the construction being such, that by uncoupling its valve rod from the pump handle and removing said bolt, the delivery pipe, the cylinder and its valves can be lifted from its slip joint connection and removed from the well, without disturbing the position of the pump stand and suction pipe.
